Care Homes & Creativity
In 2023 The Holburne Museum relaunched its engagement programme targeted at older people, rebranding as Care Homes & Creativity with a view to taking the museum’s stories and passion for creativity out into the local community.
The purpose of this project is to:-
- Engage older residents (both in care homes and supported groups) of B&NES with The Holburne Museum’s history and creative activities programme, especially residents who may not be able to visit the museum
- Create a safe, friendly and relaxed environment that residents feel comfortable to join
- Offer residents opportunities to meet new people and learn new things
- Offer residents creative experiences with unique museum handling objects they may not get in their usual programme of activities
- Provide an overall enriching and enjoyable experience that residents can reflect on positively
- Further develop and maintain strong, positive working relationships with residential care homes in B&NES,
